# 307534 17-Oct-2016 mckusick

MFC r304230:
Add two new macros, SLIST_CONCAT and LIST_CONCAT.

MFC r304239:
Bug 211013 reports that a write error to a UFS filesystem running
with softupdates panics the kernel.

PR: 211013


# 278667 13-Feb-2015 kib

MFC r277922:
When mounting SU-enabled mount point, wait until the softdep_flush()
thread started and incremented the stat_flush_threads.

MFC r278257:
Partially revert r277922.


# 270157 18-Aug-2014 mckusick

MFC of 269533 (by mckusick):

Add support for multi-threading of soft updates.

Replace a single soft updates thread with a thread per FFS-filesystem
mount point. The threads are associated with the bufdaemon process.

MFC of 269853 (by kib):

Revision r269457 removed the Giant around mount and unmount code, but
r269533, which was tested before r269457 was committed, implicitely
relied on the Giant to protect the manipulations of the softdepmounts
list. Use softdep global lock consistently to guarantee the list
structure now.

Insert the new struct mount_softdeps into the softdepmounts only after
it is sufficiently initialized, to prevent softdep_speedup() from
accessing bare memory. Similarly, remove struct mount_softdeps for
the unmounted filesystem from the tailq before destroying structure
rwlock.

MFC of 256801, 256803, 256808, 256812, 256817, 256845, and 256860.
This set of changes puts in place the infrastructure to allow soft
updates to be multi-threaded. It introduces no functional changes
from its current operation.

MFC of 256860:

Allow kernels without options SOFTUPDATES to build. This should fix the
embedded tinderboxes.

MFC of 256845:

Fix build problem on ARM (which defaults to building without soft updates).

MFC of 256817:

Restructuring of the soft updates code to set it up so that the
single kernel-wide soft update lock can be replaced with a
per-filesystem soft-updates lock. This per-filesystem lock will
allow each filesystem to have its own soft-updates flushing thread
rather than being limited to a single soft-updates flushing thread
for the entire kernel.

Move soft update variables out of the ufsmount structure and into
their own mount_softdeps structure referenced by ufsmount field
um_softdep. Eventually the per-filesystem lock will be in this
structure. For now there is simply a pointer to the kernel-wide
soft updates lock.

Change all instances of ACQUIRE_LOCK and FREE_LOCK to pass the lock
pointer in the mount_softdeps structure instead of a pointer to the
kernel-wide soft-updates lock.

Replace the five hash tables used by soft updates with per-filesystem
copies of these tables allocated in the mount_softdeps structure.

Several functions that flush dependencies when too many are allocated
in the kernel used to operate across all filesystems. They are now
parameterized to flush dependencies from a specified filesystem.
For now, we stick with the round-robin flushing strategy when the
kernel as a whole has too many dependencies allocated.

While there are many lines of changes, there should be no functional
change in the operation of soft updates.

MFC of 256812:

Fourth of several cleanups to soft dependency implementation.
Add KASSERTS that soft dependency functions only get called
for filesystems running with soft dependencies. Calling these
functions when soft updates are not compiled into the system
become panic's.
